California Baptist's Isaac Davis missed a potential tying alley-oop dunk with three seconds left, sealing a 63-61 victory over Utah Valley in the WAC tournament final. The Lancers' first NCAA tournament berth came after Davis's error allowed Cal Baptist to win their first conference title. Coach Rick Croy praised his team's belief, while Utah Valley's Todd Phillips lamented the lost opportunity.

Dominique Daniels Jr. hit back-to-back 3s to tie the game at 60, but Holcombe's foul shot and Daniels' subsequent pull-up 3 gave Cal Baptist the lead. Utah Valley's seven-game winning streak ended, and their season concluded despite a strong regular season. The teams will join the Big West Conference next season as the WAC rebrands.
